Tasty Tomatoes

Do you have lots of tomatoes and need something to do with them? I have the perfect recipe given to me by my friend Mindy. Funny thing, I don't really care for tomatoes (don't ask me why we have 7 tomato plants, I don't even know) but I love this recipe! We have some basil growing as well, so I've been making this side regularly. It is so fresh tasting and nice for these hot days.

3 large tomatoes
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 garlic clove, chopped
1 TB chopped parsley
1 TB fresh chopped basil or 1 tsp dried basil
2 TB chopped onion

Cut tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices and arrange in a shallow dish. Combine remaining ingredients in a jar with lid. Shake well and pour over tomato slices. Marinate for 2 to 24 hours.

Yum! Thanks, I'm always looking for tasty, healthy snacks from the garden! And we *love* tomatoes--hopefully ours will start turning red soon. :)
